Winter yardbirds for my Project feedercount

These birds are regular visitors to my feeders and backyard and a few are my winter birds. The Dark Eyed Junco and the White Throated Sparrow I only see in the winter months. Last weekend was my first count for the Project feederwatch . In about an hours time I had seen Mourning Doves, White Throated Sparrows, Bluejays, Cardinals, Tufted Titmouse, Dark Eyed Junco, Carolina Chickadees, Redbellied Woodpecker, American Crows, American Goldfinches, House Sparrow , a Pileated Woodpecker and one unknown hawk.

The Carolina Chickadees are one of my favorites, I love when they start fussing.

The birds look lovely all puffed up to keep warm. You are so clever knowing all the names and I haven't heard of them here but that doesn't mean much as I don't a lot about birds I just like watching them. I do have some bird biiks to look up their names if i can find them. Nice shots.

We had fewer birds in this part of Ohio than ever before. Several birders have asked me about that as they had less birds and less of a variety than ever before. I think it is due to a climate change and that it is a touch warmer here where we live than before so the birds are able to go a little farther north and find their ideal climates for nesting. Anyway, we didn't have many birds this year. We do have both Coopers Hawks and Sharp Shinned Hawks coming here looking for something to eat and finding less and less as most of what we had have migrated south.

I do have or had the same birds that you are showing in the post. Nice photography.
